Mills Middle School Faculty Comets rang in the first day of school (for teachers) both learning and sharing ideas to ensure that no scholar falls through the cracks at Mills Middle. Teachers dug deep into Carolyn Sollman's book "Through the Cracks," analyzed and evaluated the 2023-2024 MMS School Improvement Plan as well as met with representatives from Arkansas AIMS (Advanced Initiative for Math and Science) who are partnering with MMS to meet the personalized academic and social needs of all our scholars and prepare them for success. We are thrilled and excited for 2024! Let's go Comets!

"Knocking it out of the park with Scholar Groups!"
Ms. Wilson's AVID Excel class was using scholar groups to collaborate with one another to dig deeper into a text and subsequently extending the learning for all group members.
Way to go!

PBIS Glow Party was a hit. The end of the semester bash actually took place in the dark with scholars adorning Glow wands, bracelets and necklaces. A wonderful send off for a semester "well done!" Scholars (and administrator(s)) were dancing, enjoying snacks and fun times with their peers. See you in 2024! #millsmiddleschoolcomets #PBIS
